The Border Gavaskar Trophy of 5 test matches between India and Australia is going to start in Perth from 22nd November. Team India is preparing vigorously for the first match of the series. But which 11 players will be there who will get a chance to play in Perth, this is a big question. Young batsman Shubman Gill is almost out of this match due to injury. At the same time, captain Rohit Sharma is still in India, so it is almost certain that he will miss the first match. At the same time, what will be the bowling combination of Team India, it still remains a puzzle.
The fate of these 3 players is in Gambhir’s hands
Jasprit Bumrah will lead Team India’s bowling in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. He is going to be the most important bowler of the team in this series. In such a situation, it is absolutely certain that he will play. At the same time, Mohammad Siraj is also going to be Manzanant’s first choice. He may be struggling with form and his recent performance has not been anything special. But he has the experience of playing in Australia, which the team needs very much. In such a situation, who will be the third fast bowler in India’s playing eleven is a big question. Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna and Harshit Rana are big contenders for this one place.
Which fast bowler will get the chance?
Akash Deep has played 5 test matches for Team India so far, during which he has taken 10 wickets. Akash Deep is known for taking wickets at the beginning of the innings, he recently showed this by doing so against New Zealand. Although he has played all these matches in India. On the other hand, Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna are known to bowl with more pace and good bounce. In Australia, bowlers with high speed and good bounce are very successful. In such a situation, there is a good competition between these two players for a place in the playing 11. Somewhere the management may give a chance to either of these two players in the Perth Test.
Close competition between Harshit Rana and Prasidh Krishna
Delhi fast bowler Harshit Rana has not played a single match for Team India yet, which means he does not have any experience in international cricket. However, Harshit, who has played 10 first-class matches, is said to be consistently performing well with a speed of over 140 kmph and the ability to get good bounce. He has influenced even big giants. During India’s net session at the WACA ground in Perth, Harshit troubled the batsmen on several occasions with his fast pace, which makes him a big contender to be included in the playing 11.
On the other hand, Prasidh Krishna has played 2 test matches for Team India so far. Prasidh Krishna recently performed very well in the 2-match Test series played against Australia A. He also left his mark in India’s practice match. He can achieve good growth in Australia, due to which the management can also go with him. Prasidh has also played 21 matches in his first class career, in which he has 75 wickets in his name.
